Tom Schmidt) has been photographing the gay scene in San Francisco for over a decade, covering drag shows, beer busts, sex workers, faerie gatherings, and street people. Sons of God (2011), his homoerotic recasting of "Bible story" images, won him recognition from mainstream galleries. His 2012 exhibition, Escort: The Classic Beauty of Male Sex Workers in San Francisco, was a feature of that year's Gay Pride celebration. He has had solo shows at Eros, Magnet, and Supperclub in San Francisco. His photos have appeared in M Magazine, RFD, and on the cover of Jonathan. In 2011, he won the 4th Annual Mike Ivanitsky Award for Photographic Excellence, and in 2012 he was runner up in the Pacific Art League's juried art show in Palo Alto, California.view less
